00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: Making the American Farm Strong Again.

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Team forty seven with Clay and Buck starts now. It

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: is a day of reflection over Trump's remarkable accomplishments alongside

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: of his administration. And I never would have believed the day,

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: but as I look down at the roster, we have

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: praise for Donald Trump from Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Joe Scarborough,

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: and an incredible montage our team put together of all

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: different sorts of Democrats singing Donald Trump's praises.

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: I think this is frankly.

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: Remarkable and I think it deserves all of the public acclamation.

12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: We will run through some of those in a moment,

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: but I just wanted to hit you with this buck.

14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: In the past twenty four hours, listen to Donald Trump's schedule.

15
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: Remember we went from my cousin mid I was gonna say,

16
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: my cousin Vinnie. We went from Weekend at Bernie's Apologies

17
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: to my cousin Vinnie, great film Weekend at Bernie's Presidency

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden. They tried to run Weekend at Bernie's

19
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: two where they would hide him. He could only do

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: events from like ten to two. Then they would hide

21
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: him if they ever did any press availabilities. They gave

22
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: him note cards to call on members of the press

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: with pre screened questions. Listen to what Trump has done

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: just in the last twenty four hours. He flew to Israel,

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: spoke to the press there in Israel, met with Israeli leaders,

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: Spoke to the press again, met with families of the hostages.

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: Delivered an hour long speech to the Kanesse that is

28
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: basically the Israeli Congress, did another interview, flew to Egypt,

29
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: met with the President of Egypt, spoke to the press

30
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: US again, took photos and chatted individually with dozens of

31
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: world leaders. Signed the historic Gaza peace Deal, delivered another speech,

32
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: met privately with world leaders. Flew back to the United States.

33
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: He touched ground publicly walking across the grass of the

34
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: south lawn of the White House. I believe buck at

35
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: three am one of the most extraordinary thirty six hours.

36
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: He took off at three pm, thirty six hours before

37
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: when all the way to the Middle East, did all

38
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: of those things, got back off the plane at three am,

39
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: and today is celebrating and awarding to Charlie Kirk's widow,

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: Erica the Presidential Medal of Freedom for another public event.

41
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: For those of you who travel internationally, and I imagine

42
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: a lot of you out there have done this at

43
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: some point in time, it is buck you just did this.

44
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: You just flew to Taiwan and you just came back.

45
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: Traveling internationally is one of the most draining things that

46
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: you can do, skipping across twelve hours of time zones,

47
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: all these different things for anybody, no matter their age.

48
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: For a seventy nine year old president who has to

49
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: be at the top of his game delivering one of

50
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: the most consequential and I think well delivered addresses of

51
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: his entire political career, we're talking about superhuman, extraordinarily unbelievable

52
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: levels of mental focus and energy to be able to

53
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: put all this together. For anyone, whether you are the

54
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: CEO of a company, whether you're working in construction, whether

55
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: you're a twenty two year old listening to us right now,

56
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: that's an unbelievable thirty six hours of accomplishment. And coming

57
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: on the heels of Joe Biden, it is even more extraordinary.

58
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: I think what a thirty six hours President Trump just

59
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: put together.

60
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: It's been fun just watching all of the Trump adversary

61
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: media having to find ways to package this for their audience. Overwhelmingly,

62
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: they've taken the you know, he's terrible on They say

63
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: a bunch of things and then they go but I

64
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 4: have to say, this is pretty darn good, and I

65
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 4: don't think that there could be any more obvious. There

66
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 4: could be no more clear endorsement of the massive victory

67
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: here than even Trump's biggest detractors, at least in the media,

68
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: are having to say, yeah, I think this is a

69
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: pretty good one. Here's a great example, So Clay, You'll

70
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 4: remember when I did the Bill Maher show before this

71
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 4: last election, and there were a lot of things that

72
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: were interesting about that. One is I was like, you

73
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 4: guys are about to get absolutely smoked in this election,

74
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: and the audience did not boo. I think they knew

75
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 4: that things were not looking good for them at that point.

76
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,559
Speaker 4: It was what late September, I think, before the election,

77
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 4: so maybe about a month ago. And the other thing

78
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: was I said to Bill Maher. I think this was

79
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 4: on camera, but I definitely said it to him off camera.

80
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: I said, you know that he's really not going to

81
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 4: destroy the country, and it's going to be fine, right,

82
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 4: I mean, you actually know that. And I swear he

83
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 4: looked at me and he said, I don't know that.

84
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

85
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: I think he actually might destroy America. He seemed to

86
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 4: truly believe that. Well, Clay, here he is. This has

87
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 4: cut three having to face reality play it.

88
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 5: I always say this, you cannot ever deny success. You

89
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: just have to give your respect, even if it's not

90
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 5: your thing. Don't have the humility to give it up

91
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 5: for enormous success on any level. Trump not my choice.

92
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 5: Didn't vote for him, but a lot of people did.

93
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 5: And he's I can't deny the success. I can't either. Yeah,

94
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 5: and he's the president, and he's the president.

95
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 4: That's That's pretty much where any honest left of center

96
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: person in this country has to be.

97
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 2: Right now, Clay, you can't deny the success. Guys. It's there.

98
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: It's it's in front of all of us.

99
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: If Joe Biden had gotten all of the hostages out

100
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: of Gaza and delivered a sterling speech giving the virtues

101
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: of freedom and American leadership, and traveled and just run

102
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: through that thirty six hour stretch, he couldn't have done

103
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: any of it. Let's be clear, and that's why you

104
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: and me and most of you out there did not

105
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: vote for Joe Biden in twenty twenty. Kamala Harris could

106
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: not have done any of this, and she's twenty years

107
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: younger than President Trump. But if they had, I would

108
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: have come on and said, hey, you know what, this

109
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: is a good result. As I give credit. Bill Clinton

110
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: came out and said it, let's play this. I mean,

111
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: this is Trump is so successful. Now you and I

112
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: have and we're gonna see Trump's praises because we think

113
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: he's having the greatest presidency of the twenty first century.

114
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: I think we are in the midst I hope some

115
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: of you take the time to wake up and smile

116
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: and be grateful for what we are all experiencing right now,

117
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: because I think it's about as good as it gets.

118
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Here is a montage put together of Democrats and left

119
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: wing media giving Trump credit for the Gaza deal.

120
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: This has cut seven.

121
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 5: This was very much a peacemaker's speech.

122
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: It's a terrific day for the hostage families.

123
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 6: It's a terrific day for President Trump for our national interests.

124
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 7: Do you give him credit for this?

125
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 8: Certainly?

126
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean this is an incredible accomplishment, an incredible novel.

127
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 8: President Trump deserves a lot of credit for bringing the

128
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 8: parties together.

129
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: He should get a lot of credit. I mean, this

130
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: was his deal. He worked this out.

131
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 5: Listen, he got the deal across the finish line.

132
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: There's no question things seem.

133
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 4: Sort of possible now in a way that they didn't

134
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 4: necessarily before.

135
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: A better future ahead. That's what today represented.

136
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: It was so so powerful and unbelievably emotional.

137
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: We would not be here if it wasn't for Donald Trump.

138
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Okay, let me give you an idea of who was

139
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: saying all of that. That's the Washington Post. David Ignatius,

140
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: historian John Meacham, Representative Adam Smith, Democrats from Washington, former

141
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Senator Mark Kelly, current Democrat

142
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: from Arizona. Jim Scutto. I'm not sure how you pronounce

143
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: his name. SHOOTO, I don't watch a lot. I also

144
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: went to my high school, like Fauci. Did I know

145
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: this because these guys get big, get big request to

146
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: come back and speak at Regis, But yours truly on

147
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: the first or second largest radio platform whatever in America.

148
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: Not a lot of love from the high school.

149
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: Keep going.

150
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: MSNBC's David Noriega, Ted Deutsch, Democrat from Florida, and Arab

151
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: Israeli negotiator Aaron David Miller. Also Stephen Colbert even said

152
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: cut nine. Donald Trump did something good. Had to make

153
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: a joke about it, but cut nine.

154
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 6: Today thanks to Trump's newly broken ceasefire in Gaza, all

155
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 6: living Israeli hostages and almost truth allis Kalastan re prisonally

156
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 6: have been released. Okay, it's important. Credit where credit is due.

157
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 6: Donald Trump did something good.

158
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: Are we still canceled?

159
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: Sure?

160
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 3: I tried. I tried, all right.

161
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel even said good work. Now they got to

162
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: make jokes on the backside, but they're actually giving President

163
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: Trump credit. This is how successful Trump has suddenly become.

164
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: He has united Jimmy Kemmel and Stephen Colbert in praise.

165
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: Cut eight. What a day for Donald Trump.

166
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 8: You know what, He finally did something positive today and

167
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 8: I want to give him credit for it because I

168
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 8: know he's not the type to take credit for himself.

169
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 8: Trump was in Israel and Egypt today's to celebrate a

170
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 8: ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. All twenty Israeli hostages are home.

171
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 8: After seven hundred thirty eight days, almost two thousand Palesitian

172
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 8: prisoners and Jim Kneys have been released. And well, we're

173
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 8: only in the first phase of what will undoubtedly be

174
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 8: a long and tricky says. The fact is the bombing

175
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 8: has stopped, the hostages have been released, and Trump deserves

176
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 8: some of the praise for that. And so I know

177
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 8: it sounds crazy to say, but good work on that one,

178
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 8: President Trump. Now maybe you can not invade Portland.

179
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: Just an idea, Okay, like this is I understand they

180
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: got to slap him on the back and make a

181
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: joke or whatever. But the fact that Colbert Kimmel, CNN

182
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: and MSNBC are all lining up for much of their

183
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: day buck and having to say President Trump, get a

184
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: good job. I do wonder what their moron audiences are

185
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: thinking here. You and I are not surprised this happened,

186
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: but this is what we voted for.

187
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: We were right.

188
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 4: I would also add that they're limiting the praise to

189
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 4: getting the hostages back, but the more comprehensive deal here.

190
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 4: There's never been anything like this in media's peace negotiations

191
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 4: involving Hamas, involving the future of the state of Israel.

192
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 4: I mean, this is enormous as a frame work for

193
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 4: the Middle East going forward, and they're not saying that

194
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: because Clay it's one thing to point out, Okay, fine,

195
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 4: he got the hostages back. We all have to admit

196
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 4: that's good. I would also note who was it.

197
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: I couldn't.

198
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 4: I can't remember, but somebody said two thousand Palestinian prisoners.

199
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 4: Those are detainees, they're terror in New York.

200
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: That's a different The New York Times called it a

201
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: hostage trade, as if the criminals that were under you know,

202
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: a lock and key were the same as the hostages

203
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: that were kidnapped. So I just want to note that

204
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: on the one side you have people, you have civilians

205
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: who were kidnapped at gunpoint for no reason other than

206
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: the barbarism and hatred of Hamas. And on the other

207
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: side you have people who were breaking the Geneva Convention

208
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: in every way imaginable, fighting as a non established military,

209
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: killing civilians, and all of the things that that you

210
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: could point to anyway. But they are trying to limit

211
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: this to the hostages coming back, and they're not what

212
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: they're not willing to say their audience Clay. Even in

213
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: these clips.

214
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 4: For the most part, some of the more news people

215
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: are alluding to this. Aaron David Miller is actually a

216
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 4: sharp guy. I know him from years back, and he

217
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 4: knows the region well. There are people out there who

218
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 4: are lifetime policy wonks who are saying that part of

219
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: it is a huge breakthrough too, And that's something they

220
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 4: won't say on Kimmel's show. They won't say that Donald

221
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: Trump not only succeeded as president in getting these hostages back,

222
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 4: but Clay, he has succeeded more on mid EA's peace

223
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 4: than Obama than Biden, then Bush, then Clinton, then Reagan,

224
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: then go back, Den Carter, keep going back.

225
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 2: That they will not say.

226
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, and I don't know. I'm

227
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: curious what your answer is. We can talk about it

228
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: when we come back. As we're coming up against a break.

229
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: How much do you think the average American cares or

230
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: is paying attention to what's going on right now in

231
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: the Middle East? In other words, does this move Donald

232
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Trump's approval rating in the United States in any kind

233
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: of appreciable way, or people like you and me and

234
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: all of our listeners that are engaged on a day

235
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: to day basis in the news are aware of this,

236
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: But is this resonating with your average dad or mom

237
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: sitting in a car line picking up kids at school, Like,

238
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: is this something that matters?

239
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 4: I really don't think so for the most part. I

240
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: think for the I think for the Jewish American community,

241
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 4: especially because we had Carol Markowitz on yesterday. She has

242
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 4: family in Israel, she has family that are in the

243
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: IDF right, So that is very noteworthy for people that

244
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: feel a direct connection to what's going on over there.

245
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 4: But day to day over here, this will be swept

246
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: up in the broader news cycle very quickly. And I

247
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: think there's nothing wrong with leaving the diplomacy to the diplomat, well,

248
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 4: in this case, to Donald Trump, the diplomat in chief,

249
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 4: and moving back to issues here on the home front.

250
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 4: You know that Trump has helped clean that mess up

251
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 4: or bring that mess to an end. Let's get our

252
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 4: focus back here at home. I mean, there's there's no

253
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 4: need for us to have a split focus. I think

254
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 4: that takes away from any of the initiatives. And they're

255
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: not the stuff with the with Portland and Chicago and

256
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: the border and and trade deals with China. That's all

257
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: still underway too. This is a big news story more

258
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: than it is a big Main Street story. I think

259
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: that's fair good analysis. Now we've got Zolensky coming to

260
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 4: the White House on Friday. Within that construct, what is

261
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 4: MSNBC and CNN going to say if Trump actually brings

262
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 4: peace between Ukraine and Russia too? Remember that scene in

263
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 4: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc when they.

264
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: Open the answer is going to be one hundred percent

265
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: for me. But yes, I'm not forgetting any of those scenes.

266
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: It will it will be like that at MSNBC.

267
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: If Trump ends the Russia Ukraine war, they will just

268
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 4: melt in real like the there won't be anything left.

269
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 4: They will spontaneously combust. Total protonic reversal. I mean it'll

270
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 4: be a total I don't know what they'll do over there.

271
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 4: All right, we'll come back into.

272
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: This year, I say, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Oh yeah,

273
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: when they look at the arc, well we have double,

274
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: we have double. I was thinking when they drink from

275
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: the chalice at the end and oh double the other one.

276
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's actually double ones.

277
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it will be a Laurence O'donald' show

278
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 4: might be more like that, and whatever other shows are on,

279
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 4: like Chris Hayes might be more like The Raiders of

280
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 4: the Lost Arc. But people will melt or evaporate in

281
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 4: real time if Trump actually does the peace deal with

282
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 4: Russia Ukraine.

283
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to Team forty seven with Clay and Buck.

284
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: We are joined now by our friend Eric Trump. He's

285
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: got a brand new book out today. It's called Under Siege.

286
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: It is burning up the best seller ranks. I think

287
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: I saw it posted that it is the number one

288
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: release on Amazon today, which is a super impressive accomplishment already.

289
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: And we'll get into the book in a minute, Eric,

290
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: but we appreciate you coming on with us having said

291
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: that we'll get to the book. But are you still

292
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: kind of processing how incredible what yesterday was like in

293
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: the Middle East and your dad having the thirty six

294
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: hours that he had where even as we started off

295
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: the show, MSNBC, CNN, Heck, Colbert and Kimmel came out

296
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: and said, hey, he did something really impressive. You know

297
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: when MSNBC, CNN and the late night hosts are praising

298
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: you that your dad must have really accomplished something. What

299
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: was that like for you to watch.

300
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 7: Well, guys, a year ago he was literally serving French

301
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 7: fries at McDonald's and now he's just served at least

302
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 7: you know, literally it was exactly a year ago yesterday

303
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 7: he was doing the French fribroutine and riding around in

304
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 7: a garbage truck. And you know, he just solves Middle

305
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 7: East for peace. And I think the most impressive part

306
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 7: to me. Listen, you look at almost at every conflict

307
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 7: around the world, whether it's you know, World War One,

308
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 7: World War two, Vietnam, Korea, right, you had kind of

309
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 7: a winner, and you had losure of those wars as

310
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 7: pre determined. And here it actually feels like everybody won, right.

311
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 7: I mean, you have you have people on both sides

312
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 7: of the conflict coming out and thanking him and thanking

313
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 7: him profusely for ending the madness, ending the death and destruction,

314
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 7: and then you have an entire world that's kind of

315
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 7: coalesced around this victory. And I just think that's a

316
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 7: really beautiful thing and one of those things that only

317
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 7: he could could pull off. And I'm proud. I'm proud

318
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 7: of him as a son. I mean, listen, you know

319
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 7: we're gonna talk about the siege at some point. You

320
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 7: know today, but you know everything that we've we've gone through,

321
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 7: everything that they tried to do to destroy us. Guys,

322
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 7: it all became worth it for me yesterday, right. I

323
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 7: mean there are times when you couldn't quite you know,

324
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 7: couldn't couldn't quite get there.

325
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 6: Right?

326
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 3: Was it worth it?

327
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 7: Was it not? It was brutal. They tried to destroy

328
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 7: your life. And then you see a man up there

329
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 7: with the entire world respecting America. You know, the death

330
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 7: and destruction and evilness has ended. Conflicts all over the

331
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 7: world are ending. You know, pieces being brought. You know,

332
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 7: some son will go back to their mother tonight. Who

333
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 7: would have other why he's not gone back. She would

334
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 7: have been finding out that that person was dead had

335
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 7: it not been for his actions. And I think that

336
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 7: makes this whole worth it.

337
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 4: The book is under siege, My families fight to save

338
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 4: our nation. Where with Eric Trump now talking about it,

339
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 4: and Eric, I have a longtime law enforcement friend who,

340
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 4: as you're he's a big Trump supporter. And as the

341
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 4: whole situation was playing out, the effort to use unprecedented

342
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 4: law fair not just against your dad, as you have

343
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 4: pointed out before, against the Trump organization, against Trump family,

344
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 4: members against all of you. Really, anyone named Trump became

345
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 4: a target as you're going through that, he kept saying,

346
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 4: A normal and by this, I just mean an every

347
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 4: day and everyday person would be broken by one federal indictment, meaning,

348
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, how will I ever be able to

349
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 4: fight this? And and well, you know what is going

350
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 4: to do my reputation? Your dad and your family were

351
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 4: going through four nonsense criminal indictment and some of the

352
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 4: civil stuff that you were having good deal with, including

353
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 4: from Letitia James, which we were just discussing her situation.

354
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 4: What was that like day in and day out? Did

355
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 4: it just feel surreal? Did it feel like your dad

356
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: was prepared for it and was able to be a

357
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 4: happy warrior through the whole thing?

358
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: I mean, bring us into that.

359
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, well listen, you know, honestly I was. I

360
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 7: was a tip to the spear with that whole thing.

361
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 8: Right.

362
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 7: My father had certain constitutional protections that kept a lot

363
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 7: of the subpoenas away from him, right, and so guess

364
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 7: what they did. You know, it's thirty three years old.

365
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 7: He sat me down, He goes, honey, I want you

366
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 7: to run the company. I want you know you're you're

367
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 7: the guy. You love real estate, you love building, you

368
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 7: love everything we do. You've built so many of our projects,

369
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 7: you run everything, you run our teams. I want you

370
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 7: to carry this forward because obviously I'm going to Watchington, DC.

371
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 7: And I said, no problem. And guys, I thought I

372
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 7: was gonna have this great time, you know again, building hotels,

373
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 7: running great organization. I never thought that ninety nine percent

374
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 7: of my time for a period of four years, really

375
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 7: a period of eight years, was going to be you know,

376
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 7: dealing with subpoenas. I became the most subenid person in

377
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 7: American history simply because I was the conduit to everything

378
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 7: that he had ever built, because I the guy running

379
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 7: the organization that had you know, Trump on the front door.

380
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 7: And so they came after us mercilessly. And thank god,

381
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 7: we had two things. We had a loud voice, and

382
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 7: we had enough zeros on the back of our name

383
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 7: that we could literally spend I mean, guys, I've said

384
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 7: this planning time. We've spent about four million, four hundred

385
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 7: million dollars fighting off the lunatics. And this is the

386
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 7: dirty dossier's, this is the made up Russia collusion. I

387
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 7: was the guy that got the call from the FBI saying,

388
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 7: I hear you have secret servers in the basement of

389
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 7: Trump Tower communicating directly with the Kremlin. We didn't have

390
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 7: servers in the basement of Trump Tower. It was all

391
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 7: a lie. It was all made up by Hillary Clinton.

392
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 7: It was all made up by Barack Obama. We didn't

393
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 7: have damn servers. But they wanted to put us under siege, right.

394
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 7: They needed a reason, you know, they wanted their October

395
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 7: surprise obviously is to get you know, Hillary three more votes.

396
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 7: But then when she failed so miserably against you know,

397
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 7: a bunch of ragtag individuals who didn't know a damn

398
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 7: thing about politics, i e. Our family, she needed a

399
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 7: reason to justify her loss. Hence the reason they made

400
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 7: this up. And they wanted to have this. Oh, you know,

401
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 7: the shadow loom over my father the entire time. They

402
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 7: wanted the shadow government to try and take him down

403
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,239
Speaker 7: at every single step of the way. And then they

404
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 7: leaked his tax returns. I mean they not only did

405
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 7: they leak my father's tax returns, every tax return he had,

406
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 7: this is the i R s. They leaked all my

407
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 7: tax returns. They leaked Don's tax returns. The entire family,

408
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 7: you know. Then they leaked all the tax returns of

409
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 7: all the employees, all our corporate employees, you know. Then

410
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 7: they silenced us. They took us off of Facebook and

411
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 7: Twitter and Instagram. Then they gag ordered us. A lot

412
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 7: of times. You'd see me speaking on the front steps

413
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 7: of the you know, of the courthouses around the country.

414
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 7: Why because some of those cases I wasn't gag ordered in,

415
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 7: but my father was, and so I had to be

416
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 7: the person to go out and talk about, you know,

417
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 7: the judge's daughter who you know, apparently worked for the

418
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 7: you know, Democratic Party and is one of the biggest

419
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 7: you know, digital media people in New York State, while

420
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 7: her father is presiding over a trial against my father, right,

421
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 7: and then they take him off the ballot of Maine,

422
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 7: they take him out the ballot of Colorado. They do

423
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 7: everything they can. They they call up every bank and

424
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 7: they try and get us deep platform de banked. I mean, guys,

425
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 7: this was a non stop siege against our family. But

426
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 7: it wasn't just against our family. It was against the

427
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 7: Republican Party. It was against you guys, it was against everybody,

428
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 7: everybody who want to free speech. They tried, they tried

429
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 7: to hold all of us down. They tried to take

430
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 7: away our voice. They wanted to destroy the greatest political

431
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 7: movement you know, ever made. And it's it's really amazing

432
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 7: that we can be sitting here exactly one year later,

433
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 7: one year after those court trials and everything else, having

434
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 7: been vindicated in all of them, seeing what's happening to Letitia,

435
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 7: seeing Letitia's case get thrown out literally five zero by

436
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 7: the appellate court, seeing Middle East piecing, you know, inflation

437
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 7: go down to nothing, energy prices go down to nothing.

438
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 7: You know, I mean, what like what vindication this is

439
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 7: after everything that we've been through.

440
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 4: And I just want to ask as a follow up, Eric,

441
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 4: it's amazing to me to see what your dad has

442
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 4: gone through and just observing him in public. Also we've

443
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 4: play and I've been fortunate to spend a fair amount

444
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 4: of time with him in interviews and you know, one

445
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 4: or in a person a person face to face setting,

446
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 4: your dad, I have never seen him look scared once.

447
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 4: And this is somebody who was shot in the ear

448
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 4: and somebody else tried to shoot soon after. And that

449
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 4: is it almost seems superhuman to a lot of us

450
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 4: observing And I truly mean.

451
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 7: That he is superhuman. But the guy's this guy I've

452
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 7: known my entire life. I mean he's always been this

453
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 7: energizer bunny, you know, on steroids, wearing a red tie, right,

454
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 7: and a dark suit. That's always been my father. Everything that,

455
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 7: everything that he's ever wanted to do is always you know,

456
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 7: he's always charged, and it's his only focus. He becomes

457
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 7: people don't realize. He becomes very myopically focused on whatever

458
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 7: he wants to do. If it's building the greatest building,

459
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 7: he becomes myopically focused on. If it's building a great course,

460
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 7: he becomes myopically focused on his real estate career. If

461
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 7: it was the Apprentice, he becomes myopically focused on it. Well,

462
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 7: he did the same thing with politics. I mean he

463
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 7: just did this this turn and just dedicated his entire

464
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 7: life to politics and winning a race. He became myopically

465
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 7: focused on it and never I mean, I can't tell

466
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 7: you how many people have lost money betting against Donald Trump.

467
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 7: You know, don't don't bet against the guy, because he's

468
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 7: gonna beat you every single time. And you know, he

469
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 7: became myoptically focused when he came to the Middle East.

470
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 6: Piece.

471
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 7: I mean, that's the one thing that he always wanted

472
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 7: to achieve, and that was probably the greatest achievement of all.

473
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 7: It's something that everybody was laughing at. This will never happen.

474
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 7: These societies hate each other, they've been warring for thousands

475
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 7: of years. The will never come together. And he goes, no,

476
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 7: I want I want peace in the Middle East. I

477
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 7: want the Abraham Accords. I want people to be kind of,

478
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 7: you know, prosperous. But he does not back down, he

479
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 7: does not mince words. He's politically incorrect, and frankly, it's

480
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 7: what people adored about him. I mean, you'd watch those

481
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 7: primary debates guys in twenty you know, in twenty sixteen,

482
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 7: twenty seventeen, you know, and those all those soundbites were rehearsed, right.

483
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, Hillary Clinton will is very lucky

484
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 7: that Donald Trump isn't running the legal system of the

485
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 7: United States.

486
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 9: Right.

487
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 7: He's throwing out these ingers, yeah, because you'd be in

488
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 7: jail for the rest of your life, right, And he's

489
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 7: doing it off the cuff. And people like somebody who

490
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 7: was finally real, somebody who was in PC, somebody who's

491
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 7: willing to go out there and fight like hell, and

492
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 7: somebody who was willing to work hard, because just don't

493
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 7: have that in politics. I mean, most of the politicians

494
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 7: are lazy, their canned, they're they're scripted, they're they're inauthentic,

495
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 7: and and and they lose. They lose Americans. And that's why,

496
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 7: you know, there was never any excitement in politics before

497
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 7: my father came into the race. No one was excited

498
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 7: about Jim Bush. No one gave a damn about Jet Bush.

499
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 7: And you know, now you watch these rallies where thirty thousand,

500
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 7: fifty thousand people show up to these rallies. People are excited.

501
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 7: And by the way, a lot of those people are

502
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 7: young kids, who are you engaged in kind of the

503
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 7: democratic process for the first time. It's it's a beautiful

504
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 7: thing to witness.

505
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: We're talking to Eric Trump. The book is under Siege,

506
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: My Family's Fight to save our Nation. It's available everywhere. Eric,

507
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: you just talked about your dad and his unique sensibilities

508
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to politics. You're a builder, You're a

509
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: business person. So is Jared Kushner, so is Steve Witkoff.

510
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: Obviously your dad. How much do you think being a

511
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: business guy made it possible to get a deal as

512
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: opposed to a straight politics. Guy in the middle. I

513
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: love this because deal makers look at solutions or situations

514
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: and just try to get to yes, whereas it feels

515
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: like a lot of politicians get bogged down in things

516
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: that don't matter. How much do you think business and

517
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: deal making really was the foundation of what Jared, what

518
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: Steve and what your dad were able to do, And

519
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: how much do you see that in your own world

520
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: from a business perspective as looking at politics as a

521
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: series of deals as opposed to getting bogged down in

522
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: sometimes these intractable issues.

523
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 7: By the way, it's a great question. I'm not sure

524
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 7: if I've ever gotten asked, but it's one hundred percent

525
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 7: being a deal maker. I mean, listen, Obama ran on

526
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 7: what hope, right, I like hope. Hope doesn't get you

527
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 7: anywhere in business. You know what I hope gets you.

528
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 7: I hope gets you bankrupt. You don't hope for something,

529
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 7: You go out and you effectually change, right, And that's

530
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 7: what Jared did so great. That's when we cofim in

531
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 7: Steve Wickoffs. I'm like Gloss his friends. I love him

532
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 7: to death, but I mean these you know, and guys

533
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 7: like me, right, I'm out of business if we don't.

534
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 7: You know, if we don't get results, you don't get

535
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 7: things across the finish line, you are out of business,

536
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 7: right like that, That's what business is about, and making

537
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 7: the deal right, getting things accomplished, getting things done. Whereas

538
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 7: Barack Obama was about hope. Hope isn't a strategy. You know,

539
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 7: results are a strategy. And that's what my father demands.

540
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 7: He demands results. Everything he does, every word he says,

541
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 7: is about getting a result, right, you know, and and

542
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 7: that's a calculated result. Everything he does, every press conference,

543
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 7: every meeting, every every call he makes, every time he

544
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 7: pushes his cabinet, everything he does, every person that he appoints,

545
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 7: it's about getting results. And that's what motivates my father,

546
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 7: and that's what motivates people in the business world. And

547
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 7: so I think that's why all of a sudden you

548
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 7: had this kind of you know, ragtag group of people

549
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 7: once again, you know, who didn't know anything about politics,

550
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 7: you know it might not have even known that much

551
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 7: about Middle East piece, but was able to go in there,

552
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 7: build relationships, negotiate well, get everybody to a table and

553
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 7: actually if actually change versus you know, these career bureaucrats

554
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 7: who talk about how much they know about foreign policy

555
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 7: and yet they're incapable of getting anything done. I mean,

556
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 7: how many more times do you do you have to hear?

557
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 7: Do you remember in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, Well, Donald

558
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 7: Trump does not know anything about foreign policy. It's like, yeah,

559
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 7: they didn't know anything abouteign policy either, you know, And

560
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 7: guess what, it's a really smart guy who could figure

561
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 7: it out in about three and a half seconds, bring

562
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 7: people to the table and actually get something accomplished. And

563
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 7: you know, it always makes me so happy when I

564
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 7: see him just run circles around these people who claim

565
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 7: to know something about foreign policy, yet they haven't progressed

566
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 7: a ball in the last you know, three decades.

567
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: The Team forty seven podcast is sponsored by Good Ranchers

568
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: Making the American farm strong again. You're listening to Team

569
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: forty seven with Clay and Buck.

570
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 9: To be determined, but I would say most likely it's

571
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 9: going to be a double meeting. It'll be a double meeting,

572
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 9: but we will have the President Zelinsky in touch. There's

573
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 9: a lot of red blood with the two presidents. And

574
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 9: I'm not speaking out of turn when I say it's

575
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 9: very a very difficult situation. You know, we just settled

576
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 9: the war and after thousands of years. I guess people

577
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 9: say anywhere from five hundred to three thousand years. And

578
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 9: I was in rooms as you saw, because you were

579
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 9: with me. A lot of you were with me last

580
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 9: week with leaders that didn't like each other, but they

581
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 9: were able to get along. These two leaders do not

582
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 9: like each other, and we want to make it comfortable

583
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 9: for everybody. So one way or the other will be

584
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 9: involved in threes, but it may be separated.

585
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 4: Talking about the structure here, Clay, how these conversations will

586
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 4: be with Zelenski and Putin going forward, so he may

587
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 4: be the full the full on intermediaries.

588
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: What he's saying, right, have you.

589
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: Ever been to these before? Buck? This is I'm kind

590
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: of grinning. You could see it grinning.

591
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: Trump as the mediator is actually if as did decent

592
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: skits anymore, Trump as the mediator, going back and forth

593
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: between Zelenski and Putin would actually be an opportunity for

594
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: great comedic skit making possibilities. Because if you've ever been

595
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: to a mediation, some of you may have been through divorces.

596
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: That's awful. A lot of times they are mediated. I

597
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: did mediations back in the day when I was a lawyer.

598
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: I've never been the media tour. But basically, if the

599
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: two parties are really angry, one party's like, I hope

600
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: they die and I hope they you know, every minute

601
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: they wake up for the rest of their life, their

602
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: first thought is how much they got screwed by me.

603
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 3: You go tell them that, and then the mediator walks back.

604
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: It's like, there's a lot of passion, but I think

605
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: we've got something here. You know, you just have to

606
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: basically totally lie to both sides that are furious and

607
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: angry and they just want to vent and they want

608
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: everybody to hear their side. So the idea of Trump

609
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: as like the you know, really thoughtful okay, okay, and

610
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: then he goes back and he just lies, you know,

611
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: to try to make the two parties seem like they

612
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: aren't as far apart as they actually are in an

613
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: effort to ultimately bring them together. Is very comedically entertaining.

614
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: But that's where we are. I think Zolensky and Putin

615
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: hate each other, as you can well imagine, and Trump

616
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: now has to somehow be the bridge of across that

617
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: river of discord and animosity and what it's funny about

618
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: it as well, is this is the exact opposite of

619
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: what most people in legacy media see Trump as. But

620
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: I think he sees himself as someone that can be

621
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: a bridge to diplomacy. And so that's where we are.

622
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: And that's kind of laughing just thinking about Trump as

623
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: the ultimate adult in the room trying to mediate this

624
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: very serious disagreement which is frankly cost hundreds of thousands

625
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: of lives on both sides.

626
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: And he's the.

627
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: Adult, and he's the one who's going to be trying

628
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: to tamp down the emotion as opposed to being the emotional,

629
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: sort of likening rod as he often is in many

630
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: other different political disputes.

631
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 4: Well, I think this also speaks to the way these

632
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 4: two leaders feel about each other and the trust or

633
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 4: lack thereof, that exists between them. This is Zelenski saying

634
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 4: that he wants security guarantees if he's going to meet

635
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 4: with putin play thirty six.

636
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 10: I think we need to sit and speak. The second point,

637
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 10: we need cease file. Even now, you see in the

638
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 10: Middle East it's very difficult to hold sea is file.

639
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 10: Everywhere in every war, it's very difficult. We want this

640
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 10: Putin doesn't want That's why we need pressurer only. We

641
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 10: will speak with President today what we need. We understand

642
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 10: what we need to put in to negotiation table, and

643
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 10: as I said previously, so we're ready to speak in

644
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 10: any kind of format. Bilateral, tri elateral, doesn't matter, matter,

645
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 10: just peace. This is important, and we don't speak about

646
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 10: Nate Ornate, NATA. For Ukrainians it is very important.

647
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 11: Of course, it's our decision, decisions of allies to decide

648
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 11: where we are and the most important thing, the most

649
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 11: important thing for people in Ukraine which are under each

650
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 11: day's attacks, to have really strong security guarantees.

651
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 10: Neth NATO is the best, but the weapon is very important.

652
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 10: Allies on our side is very important. And between us,

653
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 10: for US by lateral security guarantees, between me and President

654
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 10: Trump is very important.

655
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 4: Sorry, if it's a little hard, I just mean this

656
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 4: a little hard to understand. His accent is pretty thick,

657
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 4: but he's just saying, look, you know what I meet

658
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 4: with Putin, but we got to Basically, he knows that

659
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 4: unless there are other parties involved here who are willing

660
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 4: to drop the hammer on Russia if it comes to it,

661
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 4: whatever Putin signs is not worth the paper, it's it's printed.

662
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: On correct And this is where I think Putin this

663
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: is my prediction, because he respects Trump and because he

664
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: actually on some level fears how Trump might respond to him,

665
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: may be willing to enter into some form of agreement.

666
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: The problem is Trump is going to leave office in

667
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: January of twenty nine. We saw what happened when Trump

668
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: left office last time. Putin can play the long game.

669
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: He can do the next fifteen years. I don't know

670
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: how long he's going to be in power, but I

671
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: don't see any immediate threat to Vladimir Putin's reign. And

672
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: I am a bit concerned that that's what Hamas is

673
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: doing in the Middle East too, is they respect Trump

674
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: and they fear Trump. And if we got let's just

675
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: say it, a president Kamala Harris God forbid, or President

676
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, or President mayor Pete or a president AOC.

677
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 3: Do you think that.

678
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: The people of Hamas are going to respect those Democrat leaders?

679
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 1: Do you think that Vladimir Putin is going to fear

680
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: to those Democrat leaders? I would submit to you that

681
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: there is tangible evidence they will not and do not.

682
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: And so is there a concern I think that Zolensky

683
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: is correct to point this out, that we may get

684
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: a short term peace agreement, but as soon as Trump

685
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: is out of office and there is a perception of

686
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: weakness again it's taken advantage of Let me also point

687
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: something else out about this buck that I think is.

688
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 3: Is super interesting.

689
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: Remember when they said that Zelensky and Trump would never

690
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: be able to interact again. Wasn't that long ago that

691
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: we had the couch meeting with uh uh with JD

692
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: Vance and everything kind of came undone on the minerals

693
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: rights agreement and everybody just said, oh my goodness, how

694
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: is this ever got? And now they're boys Zelenskys showing

695
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: up in the black suit. They're sitting there side by side.

696
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: The media very often takes Trump as if what position

697
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: he adopts in the moment is going to exist forever,

698
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 1: when Trump as a negotiator has shown throughout his entire

699
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: political career that he is willing to adjust on a

700
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: regular basis. And let me also play this cut. It's

701
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: one thing to talk about security guarantees. We talk about

702
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: military force, which certainly putin respects we're not going to

703
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: put boots on the ground but economic force is a

704
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: reality too. If this is true, then this is a

705
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: really significant announcement that Trump just made in the Oval Office,

706
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: Cut thirty seven. He says India is done buying Russian

707
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: oil and gas. Let's play that well.

708
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 9: India is not going to be buying Russian oil anymore.

709
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 9: And Hungary is sort of suck because they have one

710
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 9: pipeline that's been there for years and years and years.

711
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 3: And they're inland.

712
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 9: They don't have c they don't have SA and I

713
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 9: spoke with the very great leader of Hungary and they

714
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 9: are you know, it's very hard for them.

715
00:36:58,640 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: To get oil.

716
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 9: I understand it. We have Hungery's in a very interesting

717
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 9: position because they can't have ports. You know, they're surrounded

718
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 9: by land. So we'll see what happens there. But India

719
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 9: will not be buying oil from Russia. And they've already

720
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 9: de escalated and they've more or less stopped. They're pulling back.

721
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 9: They bought about thirty eight percent of the oil and

722
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 9: they won't be doing it anymore.

723
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: Okay, If that's true, Buck, then we talked about this

724
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, and I don't think it's gotten

725
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: enough discussion. Russia has sanctions against its ability to sell

726
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: oil and gas. One of the primary ways they have

727
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: gotten around those sanctions is by selling at a reduced

728
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: cost to India and then India marks the oil and

729
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: gas back up to real rates and act as effectively

730
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: as a middleman with a guaranteed profit. Which Hey, heck,

731
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: a lot of you out there that are business people.

732
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: You're like, man, I'd like to get that deal. Buy

733
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: the oil and gas at are reduced rate. Know you

734
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: have a huge market for it to mark up, and

735
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: all you basically have to do is transfer ownership. It's

736
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: a default, clear revocation and an avoidance of the oil

737
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: and gas tariffs. And so if this is true, if India,

738
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: which has basically been the default market for Russian oil

739
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: and gas, is truly not going to buy it anymore,

740
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: then this would start to put some economic power and

741
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: restrictions on Putin.

742
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 4: This is the big one two punch that needs to

743
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 4: happen here. Putin's not going to do this because he's

744
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 4: not going to call for a rather agree to a

745
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 4: cease fire any kind of meaningful deal. While he thinks

746
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 4: he's going to keep winning, right, while he thinks that

747
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 4: the situation on the battlefield and for Russia is beneficial

748
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 4: to keep this thing going. And he clearly believes that

749
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 4: as of now, or has believed that up to this point.

750
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 4: And so Clay, you're talking about raising the economic cost,

751
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 4: which means going after the ways that Russia has evaded

752
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 4: sanctions really with very little pain to Russian economy because

753
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 4: people want oil. And to your point, there's a way

754
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 4: to buy oil and sell it back and make money.

755
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: I mean, there's gonna be ways to do this, right, so.

756
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 3: A good business buck.

757
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie the middleman business of getting guaranteed

758
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: reduced rate oil and then being able to immediately sell it.

759
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: That's peep to buyers who can't buy it from Russia

760
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: but they can't buy it from you. I mean, it's

761
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: a it's it's clearly a can't at business. Yeah, it's can't.

762
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 4: Miss situation, a situation. But that's step one of this.

763
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 4: The next step would be, Okay, beyond the economic maybe

764
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 4: we just got to like let Russia know that Ukraine's

765
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 4: now got stuff that they can really hit Russia with,

766
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 4: including in the Russian interior. Trump is talking about this,

767
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 4: everybody Tomahawk missiles. Here's what he said, play thirty eight.

768
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 9: We need tomahawks, and we need a lot of other

769
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 9: things that we've been sending over the last four years

770
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 9: to Ukraine.

771
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 3: We've been you know, we gave, we gave them. Now

772
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 3: we have a different situation.

773
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 9: We send it to the European Union. They pay for

774
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 9: it and all that, and they have plenty of money,

775
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 9: but we just beyond the money. You know, we need tomahawks.

776
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 9: So we need a lot of other weapons that we're

777
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 9: sending to Ukraine. And one of the reasons we want

778
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 9: to get this war over is exactly that it's not

779
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 9: easy for us to give. You're talking about massive numbers

780
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 9: of very powerful weapons. So that's one of the things

781
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 9: we'll be talking about. Hopefully they won't need it. Hopefully

782
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 9: we'll be able to get the war over with without

783
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 9: thinking about tomahawks. I think I think we're getting I

784
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 9: think we're fairly I think we're fairly close to that.

785
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 4: Get the war ended without giving Ukraine Tomahawk missiles. Any

786
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 4: of you who have seen the movie Under Siege very

787
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 4: familiar with the Tomahawk missile system because it plays a

788
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 4: large role in that movie. That's serious hardware that goes

789
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 4: a long way and packs quite a punch.

790
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 3: No doubt.

791
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: And Trump also just weighed in on Maduro and uh,

792
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to edit what he said, but Base

793
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't like the cards that Maduro has in Venezuela either.

794
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: And Buck, I think it's worth noting you think some

795
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: of these guys, after Trump let the bombing of Iran happened,

796
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: thought to themselves, Uh, oh, I don't want to screw

797
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: around with the US, because they've got a guy who

798
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: will rain down holy hell.

799
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 3: On us and it's not afraid to do it. You know.

800
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: Not only was that the right decision as it pertains

801
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: to Iran, it was also the right decision as it

802
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: pertains to sending the message about what you're willing to

803
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: do going forward,
